There was a part of me that was not fully engaged with beginning Project Life this year. Last year I found it nearly impossible to keep up and that was primarily because printing my photos at home became really problematic. My photo printer is not working and Mark’s printer just doesn’t do a great job with photos. What to do?
Then, while I was cleaning through some things in my studio I felt like I would miss the documentation, the recording of our little stories that has become so important to me over the past few years. I had bought a few Project Life supplies in the clearance department at Michael’s way back in November and decided to give it a go this year.
I love my happy little album. I was able to get 2 on clearance and that made my day! I love the collection I picked for this year, also found on clearance. I think it may be Neopolitan by Dear Lizzy. The colors are soft and remind me of spring and summer!
Not that this is a grand event, but at this moment, weeks four and five, I am up to date with my journaling. But, that’s about it. The photos I figure I will print in bulk and just add to the album once a month. I have also decided that I will include the work that I do with my “word” for this year, inside the same album thereby eliminating extra work and keeping everything that happens this year in one place.
While I am hoping to keep my approach simple this year, I think that adding an embellishment or two throughout the year will help to keep my creative side a bit giddy. Flowers, ribbons and buttons are always a good thing!
